The Man Who Lost His Language - Tapa blanda
Críticas:
"When Sheila Hale's husband John suffered a stroke that left him unable to walk, write or speak normally, she embarked on a battle to restore him to normal life. This book shows how she followed every medical trail... and at the same time maintained an extraordinary loving intimacy with him. She tells their joint story with rare intelligence and feeling" Claire Tomalin; "An extraordinary achievement: a moving account of an intimate relationship, and a rigorous investigation into the most up-to-date medical theories and treatments of a mysterious affliction. It raises all kinds of questions about language, communication and the brain. Most remarkable, it's full of jokes and surprises" Anthony Sampson
Reseña del editor:
John Hale was one of the world's foremost Renaissance historians. Soon after delivering the second draft of the text of his masterpiece, The Civilization of Europe in the Renaissance, Hale had a stroke that deprived him of the power of speech. His wife Sheila set out to find out what had happened and how John might be brought back to normal as far as possible. Her book gives a moving account of what it is like when a partner suffers a stroke and a sympathetic lay person's assessment of what is known about aphasia. But it is also an exploration of what aphasia can tell us about the nature of language, and how we construct our lives through it.
